Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 quarts whole milk
• 1 cup Arborio rice
• ¾ cup white sugar, or more to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bring milk, Arborio rice, sugar, butter, and salt to a boil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring frequently until rice is very tender, about 1 hour. Remove from heat.

Step 2

Beat eggs in a bowl, and gradually stir in about 1 cup of the rice mixture with the beaten eggs, adding about 1/4 cup of the hot rice at a time. Return the egg mixture into the saucepan, and stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract.

Step 3

Pour the rice pudding into a 3-quart dish, and sprinkle with cinnamon. Allow pudding to cool slightly, then cover and refrigerate until chilled, about 4 hours.
